The thesis reconstructs the first sixty-five years of the life of Willa Muir, and provides a preliminary critical analysis of her pre-1955 works. Wilhelmina Anderson was born in 1890 in Montrose where she spent the first, formative seventeen years of her life before proceeding to St Andrews University in 1907. Her university years produced academic and social success, but also the pain of a disintegrating romantic relationship and the horror of her brother's nervous breakdown. She spent the later war years in London studying child psychology at Bedford College, and living in the city's East End at Mansfield House University Settlement. She met Edwin Muir in September 1918 and married him in June 1919 - a development which cost her the vice-principal's post at Gypsy Hill Training College. They spent their first difficult married years in London where Willa pursued subsistence employment and struggled to contain the fears which plagued Edwin: but they were overwhelmed by London life and escaped into Europe for three years. This adventure included a period in Prague and one during which Willa taught at A.S. Neill's school near Dresden. They returned to three frustrating years in Willa's mother's Montrose house (where Willa wrote Women: An Inquiry) and a damp Buckinghamshire cottage from which they escaped to the cheaper, warmer climes of southern France. Five years in Crowborough then ensued; Willa produced a son, an outpouring of translations and a novel called Imagined Corners. The three years which they then spent in Hampstead were amongst the happiest in Willa's life. She produced her second novel, Mrs Ritchie, but also experienced her sons road accident. This event drove them to seek a less populous location and they moved to St Andrews. This was a nightmarish period in which they suffered social ostracism, illness and the effects of the Second World War. Willa wrote Mrs Grundy in Scotland. Edwin then began an eight year association with the British Council which started with war work in Edinburgh and then took them back to Prague. This was an initially happy experience which was soured by internal machinations at the Council and the horror of the 1948 Communist putsch. They were physically and emotionally injured by this experience but were healed by a second British Council posting to Rome. The final chapter describes their residency at Newbattle Abbey College in Scotland - where Edwin was appointed to the post of warden - and explores Willa's crisis of confidence during this period. The thesis ends at the point of the Muir's 1955 departure for Harvard University. It is a natural hiatus in Willa's personal history and marks the beginning of a comparatively fallow period in her creative life.

Centrou-se o mesmo em três evidências: a Colônia Cecília, uma experiência de cunho comunista anárquico, colocada em prática no Sul do Paraná, na região denominada Campos Gerais, os períodicos anarquistas, editados em Curitiba e as ações encetadas pelos trabalhadores curitibanos: fundação de Associações e realização de ¿meetings¿, boicotes e greves. A pesquisa realizada evidenciou que Curitiba, a exemplo de São Paulo, Santos e Rio de Janeiro, sofria, na época, uma grande influência anarquista e que a educação política do trabalhador curitibano e o desenvolvimento de sua consciência crítica muito deveram à presença do anarquismo, na Cidade Sorriso / Mestrado / Mestre em Educação

This study examines the five late keyboard works of Cesar Franck: the Prelude, Chorale, and Fugue and the Prelude. Aria, and Finale for piano, and the three organ chorales. The study focuses on harmonic and contrapuntal techniques and their interrelationships, placing the discussion in the context of an analysis of the whole piece. The primary goal is to identify the salient characteristics of each piece; a secondary goal is to identify common harmonic and contrapuntal aspects of Franck's style.

O teatro de Oswald de Andrade já soma uma considerável fortuna crítica e, neste sentido, apresentamos uma releitura de parte dessa crítica sobre a obra estudada a fim de com ela dialogar e somar, analisando a construção de algumas personagens a partir da articulação e posicionamentos políticos afirmados em suas falas, bem como percebidos em suas ações. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This study analyzes Oswald de Andrade's theater under the political dimension's aspect, from the context of writing plays in the intellectual playwright's performance and the dialectic between art and politics, that's present in plays, on which the root is the discourse of class struggle, aspect that determines the own work's nature, taking it and its author to marginalization, mainly in the intellectual field of the 30's in Brazil, what makes his plays aren't staged at that time. The Oswald de Andrade's theater adds up a considerable fortune criticism, and, in this sense, we present a rereading part of this criticism. About the studied novel in order to talk and add, analyzing the construction of some characters, from the junction and political position, affirmed in his speeches, as well as realized in his actions.

El presente trabajo se enfocará en el desarrollo de la Política de Transporte Terrestre en el Perú entre los años de 1890 y 1945, específicamente la sustitución que se originó entre el sistema ferroviario y el automotor. Resulta importante estudiar el impacto de la inversión pública en infraestructuras productivas como construcción de carreteras en el crecimiento económico porque a pesar de que dicho proceso se inició hace ya más de un siglo en el Perú, aún en pleno siglo XXI adolecemos de vías de comunicación que conecten las pueblos del interior de nuestro país para facilitar el desarrollo de los mercados y la salida de los productos, lo que ha venido trayendo atraso económico en muchas ciudades de la sierra y selva. El crecimiento económico podrá darse en la medida que la inversión productiva venga acompañada de políticas sociales apropiadas que mejoren los indicadores de educación y salud, lo que permitiría una sólida recuperación de los niveles de vida de la población. De ahí la importancia en la construcción y el mejoramiento de las vías de comunicación porque estas no sólo permiten el traslado de productos si no que permiten la integración social y política entre los pueblos. El desarrollo de la infraestructura vial permite entonces una mayor movilidad social, acceso a mercados, integración política, mejora del nivel de competitividad, reducción de costos de las empresas; por ello el interés en el tema. / Tesis
